TIFU by not knowing what a snow bird was

Saw a post about snow birds flooding Florida in winter and reminded me of this story.

Some back story; this happened years ago, I was 12 and we had just moved into a new apartment complex near the beach since my older sister was moving back in with my mom and I. I had a small dog (jack Russell terrier) that I always took walks everywhere. Now to the fuck up.

I was walking my dog around the new complex, getting a feel for the area seeing if anyone else my age was around to hang out. I did this daily, but never really saw anyone beside the older neighbors staring. I ended up sitting by the pool when this older lady comes up and starts talking to me.

She begins telling me she's the apartments manager and to make sure I'm picking up after my dog everywhere we go because the snow birds are beginning to come down and she doesn't want dog shit everywhere. Confused by what she meant I showed her my dog bags and agreed I was picking up after my dog.

After she left I started thinking, "man they get exotic birds in this area? That's so cool!" I ran home excited to tell my mom and sister the manager said they get snow birds here and that I need to pick up after my dog so they want to be here. My mom looked confused (now looking back it was disappointment) my sister busted out laughing and I didn't understand. I told her that birds are going to be in our backyard and how I can't wait to see what they look like running back outside.

That's when both my mom and sister should've told me what was up, but they didn't and let my stupid naive ass take my dog on longer more frequent walks so I could watch for these birds. Weeks go by and I still haven't seen any birds I didn't normally see. I start getting upset about when the hell they'll arrive since the manager made it seem like a huge deal.

So I'm sitting by the pool again, when an older guy this time comes in to swim. He makes small talk, what kinda dog, if I live here, when did I move, then he asks why I'm just sitting in the pool area and not swimming. I tell him I keep watch for the snow birds since I was told they would be flying in soon. He just laughs and says "snow birds, eh? I'm a snow bird myself" I asked what the hell he meant by he was a snow bird. He tell me the actual meaning of snow birds and how they're people from up north who fly down here for the winter to avoid all the snow.

I. Felt. So. Fucking. Stupid. I spent weeks looking for these stupid birds when the "birds" were just people. I google the meaning of everything ever since.

TL;DR - I thought snow birds were actually exotic birds from the north, found out it actually meant old people from the north

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
